Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, l
heard related what seemed to me either
a fabulous story or marvellous cure.
The story was that poor sufferer who
had not been able TO lie down in bed for
six long years, given up TO die by all the
Doctors, had been speedily cured by

Vicar of Llanrystyd was familiar with
the facts, and could vouch for the truth

seemed to take deep and sympathetic
interest, having been familiar with his
suiferings. and now rejoiced in what
seemed 10 them a most remarkable cure.

situated the lovely ivymantled Church
